OAC Curriculum

At Open Access College we design the curriculum for our diverse group of students. Our goal is to build in every learner the knowledge, skills and dispositions for purposeful, productive and resilient lives who:

understand how they learn and how to become better learners

are confident and resilient

are independent learners

make connections between learning and life

make a difference by influencing and participating in local and global communities

transfer learning in meaningful and effective ways

The Australian Curriculum (AC), the South Australian Certificate of Education (SACE) and accredited Vocational Education and Training (VET) certificates form the basis of our curriculum.

Curriculum includes the development of general capabilities encompassing core life skills of well being and resilience, critical and creative thinking, literacy, numeracy and information and communication technologies.

There are eight learning areas: The Arts; English; Health and Physical Education; Humanities and Social Sciences; Languages; Technology; Mathematics; and Science.
